Determination of Geometry-Based Errors for Interpolated Tool Paths in Five-Axis Surface Machining
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Five-axis computer numerical control (CNC) machining is characterized with a multitude of errors. Among them an important component comes from the computer-aided manufacturing software known as the geometry-based errors. A new and accurate method to determine these errors is presented in this paper as opposed to the conventional chordal deviation method. The present method allows establishing the exact linearly interpolated tool positions between two cutter contact points on a given tool path, based on the inverse kinematics analysis of the machine tool. A generic procedure has been developed to ensure wide applicability of the proposed method. Analytical derivation of the geometry-based errors provides insights regarding the origin of these errors and their affecting parameters. Due to the highly non-linear characteristics of the problem, analytical solutions can only be obtained for simple surface geometry. Numerical computation is able to determine the errors for general surface shapes but it would be difficult to uncover further insightful information from the calculated error values. Besides the local surface geometry, the configuration of the kinematic chain of the CNC machine has been found to be the primary factor controlling the resulting value and type of the geometry-based errors. Implementations with a typical complex free-form surface demonstrated that the conventional chordal deviation method was not reliable and could significantly underestimate the geometry-based errors.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
